<a name="rcc"></a><p>The <tt>rcc</tt> tool is used to embed resources into a Qt application during the build process. It works by generating a C++ source file containing data specified in a Qt resource (.qrc) file.</p>
<p>Usage:</p>
<pre> rcc [options] &lt;inputs&gt;</pre>
<p>RCC accepts the following command line options:</p>
